The Women's World Cup and Copa America headline today's slate of soccer action as both tournaments grow more intense by the day.
Women's World Cup host Germany faces Japan while England takes on France in today's quarterfinal action, while Brazil looks to improve on its disappointing opening Copa America match with a win against a tough Paraguay side.
MLS has a full slate today as well, with D.C. United taking on the New York Red Bulls in the latest installment of their rivalry. The game of the day in MLS is in Utah, where Real Salt Lake takes on FC Dallas in a battle of Western Conference powers.

apparently beckham just scored an olympic goal
Why is there a blackout on matchday live? I paid, its not on tv, and i can’t friggin watch it on my service!
Vermes’ lineup is awful once again…Stojcev on the right, Julio Cesar in midfield, Chance Myers on the field!!!
Barra Bus rolling in to Harrison……should have about 400 or so traveling DCU fans today
lol he’s serious. She took a heel right to the taint. She acted like she was going to die from the pain. She came back in 5 minutes later, and at the end of extra time assisted on Japan’s GW goal.
both of you shut stfu. tools like you guys have ruined this board.
I concur!
RSL/FCD should be on Soccer Night in America not crappy Chicago and boring LA…
I think you’re confusing sexism and misogyny. Time to check dictionary.com.
easy, Freedom Fry
super serious eurodouche
fire eurosnobs now!
or it could be sardonic humour highlighting the fact that by comparison all of the japanese playes looked minature next to the germans. (which as it turns out didn’t matter because they held the ball and passed with decent skill and thus won the game).
but please get super serious and superiour about what is obviously a flippantly humours comment. your defence of the honour of the japanse women’s team will be duly noted and your “super-sensitive swell guy” cred will surely grow! yeah you!
Race isn’t determinant by size. Quit whining and crying about racism and “Grow up.”
Fair result. Japan the better team, deserved to win.
Awesome! Germany outplayed and lose to Japan. Good game.
Yes you can comment on both, but as you have not done so….
Also, this whole Japanese team has been playing excellent if you have not noticed. But please, make these games about how hot the women are!
Calling a group of Asians “midgets” is racist, if not misogynistic. Grow up.
wow. i think your string might be showing a bit. you can also comment on the attractiveness AND the skill … wow imagine that.
and let’s be honest. a handful of players aside womens soccer is pretty mediocre to watch. this WWC has been no exception. fairly slow, fairly mediocre, lots of turning the ball over and passes to nowhere and inept finishing. it is hardly the paragon of football. of course there have been a few brilliant plays and a handful of brilliant players but let’s not act like saying that the attractiveness of the women playing is an equally enjoyable aspect to the moderately skilled level of play on display is some heinous crime.
German’s diving again…
This has been a darn good, super fun soccer game to watch.
Yes, lets not comment on the excellent skill on display and instead comment on how the players look! Equally annoying when the same is done during the men’s games.
midgets 1, hot bavarians 0
finding attractive women attractive is hardly misogyny … unless of course you are hyper-pc fool.
tell me that’s not what happened
Japan! banzai!!!
